CHRISTCHURCH MAIL, SEPTEMBER 26, 2013 25 Canterbury Children’s Theatre Canterbury Children’s Theatre return to the stage these holidays with a brand new production of children’s classic Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland. Adapted from Lewis Carroll’s original story by local playwright Matt Powell and directed by Scott Campbell, the play includes appearances from all your favourite characters, as well as a few new surprises. Powell says he was keen to ground the story in Carroll’s mathematical sensibilities. “Kids seem to have this innate need to test the boundaries of logic and find loopholes in rules. At the heart of this crazy story is a little girl who just wants to figure out how the world works.” Don’t expect a maths lecture, though: the 45-minute show is packed with puppetry, poetry, and prestidigitation, and with up to 16 actors on stage at once, young audiences are in for a visual feast. As with Canterbury Children’s Theatre’s previous “cushion theatre” productions, Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland aims to reach children from 3–12 years of age, with plenty of material to keep parents occupied, too. Campbell says the cast are deep in rehearsal and working hard and “having a blast”. Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland: Cushion Theatre at The Malthouse, 71 Colombo St, Beckenham. 28 September to 13 October, Saturdays and Sundays only, at 11am and 1pm. Tickets $7 from www.malthouse.co.nz or by calling 0800 BOOKINGS. Alpine Ice Alpine Ice is Christchurch’s premier ice skating and family entertainment centre.
